EDITOR’S NOTE

Abstract

Developing critical analyses and foreseeing the urban space is an important reflective
exercise in architecture and urbanism, for the urban space has become a place of reference,
which is alive and dynamic. This field involves different works: developing a relationship between critical thinking and proposals to understand, qualify, and foresee space. Within this context, volume 11, number 2 of the journal Oculum Ensaios (Journal of Architecture and Urbanism) reinforces its multidisciplinary nature by proposing and
conducting discussions toward the understanding and analysis of the processes of development and transformation of the urban space.
